SYLVANIA INSPIRELED SHEDS NEW LIGHT ON RETAIL DISPLAYS
Merchandise will radiate their true and natural colors under new LED module

Las Vegas, NV. (May 26, 2008) – OSRAM SYLVANIA introduces INSPIRELED™, an LED module created to improve upon the current lighting options available for jewelry cases, retail display cases, and salad bars.

“The INSPIRELED module brings a unique and innovative solution whenever retail display items of different colors are shown side by side.  By combining soft white and warm white LEDs in a single module, all display items - regardless of their color - are put in the best light,” Paul Montesino, Product Manager – LED Systems Business Unit, said.

Using 3300 and 4700K LEDs alternatively mounted on a single module, the INSPIRELED’s color enhancing capabilities surpasses those of traditional fluorescent light sources for specialty applications such as shelf lighting and display case lighting.  Additionally, thanks to LED technology, no ultraviolet or infrared radiation is emitted from the light source, thus protecting the merchandise.

INSPIRELED offers a better efficacy (16 lumens per watt) than either incandescent or tungsten halogen light sources and has an extremely low
power consumption of of 17-watts.  Its high efficacy and low wattage, combined with a service life of up to 50,000 hours when temperature at the Tc-point is maintained at 40°C, results in extremely low operation and maintenance costs.

Further continuing its leadership in the lighting industry by providing complete system solutions, OSRAM SYLVANIA offers a wide range of OPTOTRONIC® 24 Volt power supplies specially designed to operate the INSPIRELED modules.  The color blending effect is brought to perfection with the OSRAM OPTOTRONIC OT DIM dimming control module.

Each INSPIRELED metal core circuit board has predrilled screw holes for easy mounting. The modules are pre-wired with 6-inch 18 AWG wires and have an innovative, sleek, and extremely low profile design.  With a height of less than 0.2 inches, a length of 11.5 inches and a width of 1 inch, the INSPIRELED can fit into almost any retail display application.
